Chapter 511 War is inevitable
Bathory's way of pacifying the former general's elite troops was to have the Goddess Inquisition and the elves send representatives to these troops to live and fight with them.
Batoli's reason was that only if there were priests and elves in those teams would they believe that Batoli would not let them be cannon fodder and fill the line.
"I certainly wouldn't dare to let the priests and elves be cannon fodder, would I?"
Bathory's words convinced the bishop and the elf representative. Even though they each did not have much combat power, they still agreed to Bathory's suggestion in order to stabilize the morale of the elite troops.
Moreover, on the surface, when the priests and elves entered these elite troops, the originally restless troops did calm down a lot. Just as Bathory said, the officers and soldiers who were originally worried about being betrayed even thought about rebelling and surrendering to the Tang Empire.
However, when they saw the priests and the elves, they began to waver in their officers' words, even though the officers, in order to maintain their prestige in the army, said that the priests and the elves came to monitor them rather than because they valued them.
Although the officers' words had a certain degree of credibility, they did not encourage the officers and soldiers to rebel in order to save their lives. Instead, they made some hesitant officers and soldiers give up the idea of rebellion.
The bishop and the elf representatives were very satisfied with the results, and they even praised Bathory as a great general.
Only Bathory knew that the real purpose of his doing so was to disperse the already small number of priests and elves, so as to prevent them from joining forces and causing too much damage to the Tang Empire.
The reason why Bathory was so active in planning for the Tang Empire was because he didn't know that Mary's real purpose in threatening him with the general's head was to contact Zhang Wei and assassinate him.
Looking at Mary's behavior from Bathory's perspective, he took it for granted that all of this was authorized by the Tang Empire behind the scenes. So, even if he found a way to kill Mary, the Tang Empire could still let others expose the general's death, leaving him without a burial place.
No matter how Mary and Bathory planned their affairs, the war began.
Zhang He's side used six fortresses to stretch the front line of both sides to about twelve kilometers. The Holy Alliance Army finally completed the construction of a fortress. However, there was an internal dispute within the Holy Alliance Army over who should be stationed in this coffin position that was obviously cannon fodder.
Therefore, when Zhang He's army arrived at the south of the fortress that the Holy Alliance had worked so hard to build, Zhang He, who did not see the defenders and military flags, chose to be cautious. He ordered the air force to approach cautiously and use bombardment magic to launch a tentative attack on the enemy's fortress.
The Tang Empire's air force approached the enemy fortress very cautiously. They raised their altitude to the highest to prevent elves from suddenly emerging from the enemy fortress and shooting at them.
According to previous combat experience, distance is of no use in dodging the arrows of the elves. However, the latest combat experience given by Mary's side is that the farther the magic arrows of the elves fly, the brighter the magic light flashing on the arrows will be. If you increase the distance enough, you can dodge them.
Although some Dark Dragon Knights and Pegasus Knights disagreed with the experience proposed by Mary, when they really had to carry out combat missions, they decided to increase the distance as much as possible for their own safety. After all, this was just a tentative attack and the real purpose was to conduct reconnaissance. There was no need to consider the problem of affecting accuracy due to excessive distance.
The air force reconnaissance unit had just arrived above the enemy's fortress, and before they had time to use the magic scroll, a knight was shot and fell. Due to the high altitude and the acceleration of gravity, the air force reconnaissance unit was suddenly attacked by the elves and had no time to react, let alone rescue.
The Pegasus and Pegasus Knight fell to the ground and were smashed into meat paste. The Dark Dragon raised a huge smoke and dust when it fell, and its life or death was uncertain. After the Dark Dragon Knight fell to the ground, he did not move, and it was impossible to tell whether he was alive or dead.
Seeing that rescue was impossible, the commander could only panic and give the order to retreat. The elves in the fortress did not intend to let go of the Tang Empire's reconnaissance air force. They shot at any enemy they saw, and Pegasus Knights or Dark Dragon Knights kept falling from the sky.
Upon seeing this, the commander quickly gave the order to descend, otherwise the enemy would continue to attack their mounts, causing them to free fall and die along with their mounts!
The air force reconnaissance troop, which was descending at full speed, only managed to make the elves change their targets from their mounts to themselves. Just when the air force reconnaissance troop suffered heavy losses and was about to be wiped out, Mary was ordered to lead her team out to rescue them.
The experimental magic shields equipped by the Ministry of Magic Technology and the full body armor made by the mountain dwarf masters enabled them to successfully resist the arrows of the elves.
When the elves unexpectedly discovered that their arrows could not cause the expected damage to Mary's team, they decisively changed their targets and wanted to attack Zhang He's army. However, Zhang He had already issued an order to retreat, and at the same time, left behind shield carts to block the elves' sight.
The elves could only shoot at the shield carts. The arrows easily passed through the shield carts but could not cause any substantial damage because there was no one behind the shield carts at all.
Mary covered the remaining aerial reconnaissance troops and returned, and they also brought back some dark dragons and Pegasus that had lost their owners.
Facing Mary, Zhang He thought for a long time before reluctantly coming to the conclusion that her merits and demerits offset each other.
After all, because of Mary's wrong intelligence, the air force reconnaissance unit suffered heavy losses, and a large number of knights were not shot but killed by falling. If they did not follow Mary's intelligence, at least the troops could bring back some dark dragons and Pegasus, which are also important strategic resources of the empire.
However, Mary and her team successfully resisted the elves' arrows and rescued the remaining air force that was about to be wiped out. This contribution is obvious. In addition, someone pleaded for mercy, saying that Mary had not experienced the previous war, so it was normal for her to misjudge based on her experience.
That's why we gave a result that offset the merits and demerits.
Mary's subordinates were somewhat angry. After all, they felt that Zhang He was too harsh on them. Only Mary did not say anything. Instead, she was very happy in her heart. She deliberately provided false information to Zhang He in order to deplete the Tang Empire's air force and undermine the military morale and spirit of the Tang Empire.
Although she knew that doing so might not necessarily reverse the situation, she was very happy if she could weaken the enemy in her heart a little bit.
